Petition to Oppose Constitutional Amendment

Dear Activist,

Today, President Bush officially endorsed a federal constitutional amendment that would require discrimination against same-sex couples and their families. Bush's announcement was nothing more or less than we expected - the proposal of a divisive and radical scheme couched in misleading rhetoric about compassion and respect. Thanks to you, we already have a head start in our campaign to send Bush what he isn't expecting: a resounding defeat of this so-called "Federal Marriage Amendment."

So far, we have gathered a core group of 20,000 people pledged to save our Constitution from any amendment that would require discrimination against any group of Americans. A powerful voice for fairness and equality has entered this momentous, national debate, and that voice belongs to you.

2. Thanks for posting this, Proud Patriot --

-- I signed the petition and will send it to others this evening.

I'm hoping this Amendment will become an albatross for the Bush administration.

20. An albatross? With 77% of the population opposing gay marriage??

Fat chance. Democrats are already running away for the issue. They are afraid it will be an albatross around Democratic necks.

The only way to fight discrimination is to point it out.

10. Happily signed and passed it onto others to do as well.

I happily signed this petition and passed it onto others to do the same.

Personally, I don't understand what the big deal is about gay couples wanting to get married. If a couple, regardless of sex, is in a committed relationship, they should be able to join their lives and be entitled to the same rights as those of a 'married' couple. After all, wasn't this country founded on the premise of "life, libery and the pursuit of happiness"? So, let people be happy already!?

I bet the founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves!?
